Packaging decorated with a 3-D bouquet of miniature mulberry paper flowers

ABSTRACT

This invention is a design for packaging (boxes or paper bags). The packaging is decorated with a bouquet of miniature mulberry paper flowers on the cover or side of the packaging. The miniature mulberry paper flowers can be roses, calla-lilies, daisies, rosebuds, lotuses, dahlia, poinsettias, gypsos, leaves, sunflowers, chrysanthemums, flat flowers, star flowers, tulips and decorating flowers. These flowers can be of different sizes or colors. The arrangement of the flowers&#39; wires along the main stem&#39;s wire of the focal flower chosen allows for a 3-D arrangement. The flowers are arranged in the format of a fresh bouquet of flowers done by a western floral designer. This bouquet of flowers is glued onto the packaging box from the underside of the bouquet. There is the possibility of uncountable permutations of miniature bouquets of flowers. The flowers are bought ready-made from the internet.

FIELD OF INVENTION

This invention is a new idea that changes the format of present daypackaging to packaging being decorated with a bouquet of mulberry paperflowers, leaves and other embellishments: such as ribbons and feathersand perhaps charms This bouquet format allows for a 3-D arrangementalong the main stem (the wire of the flower chosen to be the focal one),and the rest of the other flowers being wrapped around the main stem, asa spray of flowers. It is very similar in representation to a normalbouquet of flowers, except that every flower and leaves is arrangedalong the focal flower's stem. This allows for the layering of eachflower into a 3-D arrangement.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At present the packaging industry has made use of different types ofshapes, packaging material, lithographic techniques, different prints orribbons on the packaging for items in the perfume industry, personalbody care items or the chocolate industry.

My invention of a spray of flowers on the packaging box or paper bag,may eliminate the need to think and design graphics for the packaging ofthe current method. There may be the elimination of organizing thedesign to be printed onto the cardboard or material for the packaging.This may result in a decrease in the number of developmental stages ofthe design of current and prior art.

My idea has many, perhaps uncountable permutations of bouquets offlowers, and thus would result in a decrease in time to develop anaesthetic appearance for packaging that has been used for current andprior art.

Current and prior art utilizes a variety of shapes, sizes and designswith or without graphic impact—bold graphics, metallic and fluorescentinks, holograms, foil stamping, poly-coatings or laminations on thepackaging

Current art is presently done for wedding favor boxes. Mine isdifferent—wedding favor boxes have currently on the internet—three rosesarranged flatly on the cover of the box. My box has flowers and leaveswrapped around a main stem producing a 3-D effect. The flat singlearrangement of current art of favor boxes, has permutations but farless, it is limited to the surface area, by the number of positions theflowers can occupy on the surface area of the box. My design is 3-D, theflowers are arranged around a main stem.

The flowers can be arranged with any number and kind of flowers and thevariations of the bouquets are not constrained to the surface of thebox, the variations are in fact uncountable.

The flowers and leaves are arranged in various layers with each flowers'wire arranged from the back of the previous flowers onto the focalflower's wire at the back. Sometimes, the flowers are not in layers butare arranged in layer format, but appearing as in one layer, The flowersare arranged next to each other, and each flower's wire is placed at theback of each flower, entwined around the focal flower's wire (the mainwire).

The miniature mulberry paper flowers are extremely light in weight. Theflowers are bought ready-made, the invention is to place these flowersas a bouquet and to use the idea for packaging. The cost of theseflowers is low.

The newness of the idea is stunning and attractive, it could alsoincrease the sale of whichever product that this idea is used forpackaging. It would also increase visibility of the product. Ladies loveflowers, so why not place these miniature spray of flowers on boxes thatare for perfume, personal body care products or chocolate industries, toname but a few of the industries that the invention could be used in.

The boxes can also be used to store goods, after the initial product istaken out and used.

The packaging market is huge and it is a ready market.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Boxes or paper bags (packaging) can be decorated with a spray ofminiature mulberry paper flowers in a 3-D arrangement. This 3-Darrangement allows for perhaps uncountable permutations, which resultsin a change in which packaging is to be presented in the future. The 3-Dbouquet can also be arranged with other embellishments using current andprior techniques for designing packaging.

The current designs which are different shapes of boxes, differentprints on the paper of the boxes, embossing, foil stamping, differentmedia used in making the boxes can also be used to make the future boxeswith this invention—such as solid bleached sulfate, coated unbleachedkraft, clay coated news, folding boxboard, and uncoated recycled boxboard.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Since the number of permutations is enormous, I will only describe themaking of one design of a 3-D bouquet of flowers to be glued ontopackaging (box/paper bag). I have included an extra two set of bouquetsto represent the many bouquets that can be designed for the packaging inmind. The following is a development of one bouquet of flowers that Ihave chosen as an example.

FIG. 1 (front)

The frontal view of FIG. 1 is two roses, one rose is facing on the lefthand side at a different angle to the right sided rose. The left rosefaces towards the left, the wire attached to the left rose is woundaround the wire attached to the right rose. The right rose is the focalrose.

FIG. 2 (front)

This is a build on of FIG. 1. Three rosebuds are arranged to the rightof the right rose. The three rosebuds are arranged in a row verticallynext to the focal rose. In order to do this the wires of each of therosebuds are wrapped at the back of the frontal view around the focalrose's wire.

FIG. 3 (front)

This is a build up of FIG. 2. Two daisies are placed in between the tworoses on the top of the roses. This is in the second layer to the backof the two roses. The one daisy is on the left facing at 90 degrees tothe roses and the other daisy is facing 90 degrees to the other daisy.The wires of the two daisies are wrapped around the wire of the focalrose from the back of the frontal view of the two roses.

FIG. 3 (back)

This shows the architecture of the winding of the wires around the focalflower's wire (the main stem)

FIG. 4 (front)

This is a build on of FIG. 3. Two rosebuds larger than those on theright of the focal rose are placed, the one larger rosebud is placedbehind the left large rose in the gap between the roses. The secondrosebud is placed behind the focal rose and daisies as a third layerfrom a frontal view of the bouquet. These two rosebuds are separatedfrom each other by the second layer (of daisies)—these rosebuds areplaced above the large roses. The rosebuds' wires are wrapped from theback along the focal rose's wire.

FIG. 5 (front)

This is a build up of FIG. 4. Another two rosebuds are placed above thethird layer made up of the roses placed in FIG. 4, but these roses arein the fourth layer behind the rosebuds in the third layer. The tworosebuds in this fourth layer are separated by the daisies and there isa gap between these two rosebuds. They are not exactly next to eachother. The wires of these two rosebuds are wired from the back of thebouquet along the focal rose.

FIG. 5 (back)

This shows the architecture of the winding of the wires around the focalflower's wire (the main stem)

FIG. 6 (front)

This is a build up of FIG. 5. Two more rosebuds are placed. One rosebudis placed as in the second layer at 45 degrees from the wire of thefocal rose's wire. This rosebud is above the left rose. The secondrosebud is placed in between the rosebuds placed in FIG. 5. It is in thefifth layer. The wires of these two rosebuds are wrapped from the backof the bouquet to the focal rose's wire.

FIG. 7 (front)

The only change from FIG. 6 is the placing of a leaf at 45 degrees inbetween the roses with the wire of the leaf wrapped from the back of thebouquet around the focal rose's wire.

FIG. 7 (back)

This shows the architecture of the winding of the wires around the focalflower's wire (the main stem)

On page 11/38, this is the representation on a photograph of the realbouquet that has been developed in the FIGS. 1-7 above, this is figureA1.

On page 12/38 is a representation on a photograph of an example ofanother bouquet of flowers that can be developed this is figure B1

On page 13/38 is a representation on a photograph of an example ofanother bouquet of flowers that can be developed, this is figure C1

SUMMARY OF DRAWINGS

There is one set of drawings namely: The build up of the miniaturemulberry paper flowers into a 3-D bouquet of flowers.

The flowers in the drawings for the FIGS. 1 to 7 described in detail asto the build up of a 3-D bouquet, comprises chiefly of roses, rosebuds,daisies and a leaf. The flowers are in 3-D, meaning that each flower isarranged in layers. Each flower or leaf is arranged coming from behindthe previous flower that has been wrapped around the focal flower.

The newest flower or leaf then has its wire wrapped from the back aroundthe wire of the focal flower. The bouquet of flowers is then glued fromits back view onto the cover or side of the packaging The bouquet soarranged appears as in a bouquet of fresh flowers in floral designing.

There are figures too that show the back views of the bouquet of flowersdescribed above.

There are four sets of photographs:

The first set: A photograph of the built-up (complete) bouquet on a boxas discussed in the drawings section on page 11/38 this is figure A1

The second set: A photograph of another different bouquet on a box onpage 12/38., this is figure B1.

The third set: Another photograph of another possible permutation of 3-Dbouquet of flowers that is presented with a box as packaging on page13/38, this is figure C1

The fourth set: These are individual photographs of the miniaturemulberry paper flowers/leaves that can be used to develop one's 3-Dbouquet of flowers for decorating packaging. They are figures A, B, C,D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, RS, T, U, V, W, X, Y. on pages(14-38)/38

The 3-D arrangement of flowers into a bouquet of flowers similar to abouquet of fresh flowers arranged by a floral designer, can be used inpackaging for especially ladies' with regard to personal body careproducts, perfumes, chocolates and so forth.

1. This idea is for packaging decorated by a bouquet of miniaturemulberry paper flowers and leaves comprised of different sized,different colored and types of miniature mulberry paper flowers andleaves such as roses, calla-lilies, daisies, rosebuds, lotuses, dahlias,poinsettias, gypsos, sunflowers, chrysanthemums, flat flowers, starflowers, tulips, other decorated mulberry flowers and different mulberrypaper leaves.
 2. The miniature mulberry paper flowers are arranged in a3-D shape—comprising of a focal flower with its main stem (wire) beingused to which the other flowers and leaves are wrapped around by theirown wires attached to the flowers and leaves. 2.1 The flowers and leavesare arranged one behind the other sequentially with each of their ownwires being wrapped around the focal flower's wire. 2.2 This can resultin a layered type of arrangement as the end design. 2.3 The bouquet soarranged appears as in a bouquet of fresh flowers in floral designing.3. The flowers can be all on the same layer but still 3-D in appearance.The flowers are still arranged sequentially and behind the previousflower or leaf with each flower or leaf's wire being wrapped around thefocal flower's wire but they are not constrained to the surface area ofthe packaging. 3.1 The flowers although arranged one behind the otherare pulled up forwards so that they appear in one layer.
 4. Thedecorated box or paper bag can utilize many other additional adornmentscomprising of ribbons, feathers, sequins or wires or charms
 5. This 3-Darrangement of miniature mulberry paper flowers allows for perhapsuncountable different bouquet designs which comprise the new concept ofpackaging design proposed.
